CREATING A FAIRER SCOTLAND
WHAT MATTERS TO YOUA Summary of the Discussion so far
1
Since then, over 7,000 of you have taken
part in Fairer Scotland public events and
locally organised discussions. Even more
of you have engaged with us online, with
the number of visitors to our social media
platforms edging towards 17,500.
At the very outset of this journey, we
committed to having an open and
transparent discussion and to ensure that
everyone’s voice was listened to and
heard.
We have been working hard over the
past few months to ensure that this
has happened, reaching out to a wide
cross-section of society, and covering
many areas of the country, from
Stornoway to Dumfries.
I’d like to thank everyone who has taken
part in Fairer Scotland, either online or
through the many discussions that have
happened in communities across the
country.
Your insights and contributions have been
both uplifting and humbling, thought
provoking and stimulating. Most of all,
they’ve been invaluable in helping us
understand the issues that matter in
communities across the country and in
suggesting how to make Scotland fairer.
You’ve told us that this has been a
positive process in enabling you to
present your views and we’ve tried to
ensure that everyone who wants to have
a say has been able to do so. We
recognise that this is just the first step on
part of a longer journey and that we need
to continue to work with you as we go
forward.
This brief report presents a snapshot of
what we have heard so far. I hope you
find this of as much interest as I have and
continue to work with us to make
Scotland a fairer place to live.
Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Communities & Pensioners’ Rights
When we launched Fairer Scotland in June 2015, our intention was to speak to as many people as possible… through events, online and in person… to hear first-hand the issues that matter to you and how we can become a Fairer Scotland by 2030.
FOREWORD
2
Our aim was to engage and speak to as
many of you as we could through this
process, with a focus on those whose
voices aren’t heard as often. To achieve
this, we did things a little differently than
we would normally do.
There were around 200 events, including
a series of in-depth discussion events, run
in eight locations across the country,
discussing some of the emerging themes.
We encouraged you to have your own
discussions and feedback to us. We also
encouraged you to contribute online via
our dedicated Fairer Scotland social
media platforms.
We asked you to identify the issues that
matter to you most and suggest what
could be done to make Scotland fairer. We
got a broad range of opinion from
individuals, organisations and groups of
people who came together to take part in
fairer Scotland discussions.
Everyone’s voice is equally important to
us and so every contribution was treated
in exactly the same way, whether it came
from an individual person or a major
organisation. We read or listened to your
feedback, whether it was a postcard, a
video, an email, a written summary of
your event or a comment on social media.
However you got in contact, we gave
your feedback the same attention.
We categorised each piece of
communication received into a broad
range of topics, from taxation to
transport, equalities to education, and
housing to health. A full list of the topics
raised is included at the end of this
report.
In summarising the wealth of information
received, we identified five core themes
that we think reflect your views. These
are:
• Work and living standards.
• Homes and communities.
• Early years, education and health.
• Community participation and public
services.
• Respect and dignity.
The remainder of this report discusses
these themes in more detail and
highlights the key issues you raise.
OUR APPROACH
3
ABOUT THIS REPORT
1. The aim of this report is to provide a snapshot of the key issues raised during the Fairer Scotland discussions. Given the breadth of those discussions,
this report includes many ideas about
policy reserved to Westminster and
proposals for business and other
sectors, as well as covering issues
devolved to the Scottish Parliament.
2. It does not present a national or representative view. While we
promoted the idea of the whole country
talking about Fairer Scotland, we
appreciate that not everyone did!
Therefore, it’s important to be clear that
this is a snapshot of views from the
many of you who did get involved.
3. We haven’t responded in the report to the ideas and issues you put forward. We’ve received so much information
that we need time to give careful
consideration to your views. We plan to
publish a social justice action plan later
in 2016. In the meantime, we will
continue to address the issues
highlighted in the discussions.
4. The report does not contain every comment received. We’ve worked hard
to capture every view offered but it is
not practical to reproduce everything
that was said during Fairer Scotland in a
concise report. Our hope is that you
recognise the key themes and issues
from your involvement in the discussion
even if your specific point doesn’t
feature in this report.
The report addresses five key themes
and highlights ideas and suggestions
under each. These are:
• Work and living standards – this theme
covers ideas around income and
employment; pay and conditions;
benefits; childcare; and poverty.
• Homes and communities – this theme
covers ideas around housing
affordability and access; housing
quality; and community environment.
• Early years, education and health – this
theme covers ideas around childcare;
education; parenting; mental and
physical health; health and social care
integration; and carers.
• Community participation and public services – this theme covers ideas
around local democracy; grassroots
participation; and the role, design and
accessibility of public services.
• Respect and dignity – this theme covers
ideas around respect and dignity for all;
public attitudes; and specific issues
concerning equalities groups and
minority groups.
4
WORK AND LIVING STANDARDS
Access to jobs and support to find
employment is therefore discussed. A key
point made is for job seekers to receive
more individually tailored support to
ensure they find work that they want to
do.
There are a number of comments on
providing employment opportunities for
specific groups and how more support
should be provided to do this. Mentoring
schemes for young people is one
suggested example. Extending the age
threshold of the Modern Apprenticeship
scheme to better accommodate disabled
people is another.
Level of income is also discussed. The
idea of every person having an adequate
level of income is raised, with a number
of ways suggested as to how to do this.
More people being paid the Living Wage
and increases to both the living and
minimum wages are suggested. Paying
apprentices more is another idea put
forward.
Tackling poverty is another key issue, with a general feeling that society should
be doing everything it can to end poverty
in all its forms e.g. child poverty; food
poverty; and fuel poverty. Addressing
poverty is recognised as being key to
creating a fairer Scotland.
The ‘poverty premium’ is discussed…
how those living in poverty are further
disadvantaged through, for example,
increased utility costs and lack of access
to affordable credit. Legislation to
prevent high interest lenders from
operating is one suggested solution.
Another is that energy costs should be
made the same regardless of how you
pay for your fuel.
Improvements in working conditions is also discussed. Specific ideas include:
greater flexibility in employment, with
employers to give more consideration to
individual employee circumstances; equal
pay between women and men, and
between people of different ages, if they
are doing the same job; and bringing an
end to zero hours contracts to provide
more work and wage security.
Linked to this is the issue of childcare. There are many comments on the costs of
childcare and a view that more affordable
childcare would help parents wishing to
work. Greater flexibility within childcare
is also suggested as a way to improve
employment prospects. More provision
and more affordable wraparound care for
school-aged children is another prominent
point raised.
Having a decent standard of living is a key theme to emerge from the discussion. For many, that means having a job that pays a fair wage and treats people fairly.
5
HOMES AND COMMUNITIES
The additional costs of pre-school or
school activities, such as trips, clothing,
photographs, etc. is also discussed as
having an adverse impact on income
levels for those with children. Increasing
the school clothing grant is one
suggestion made to help with this.
Affordability and access are the key issues raised about housing. There are a
number of calls for smaller, more
affordable housing that will allow those
on lower incomes to buy. Similarly, there
are many comments which say that rent
levels, mainly in the private rented sector,
are too high and further controls should
be put in place. One suggestion made is
the introduction of a rent cap.
More private housing, to both buy and
rent, and more local authority housing,
are common points, with a few comments
calling for more housing in rural areas.
Homelessness is discussed, with calls for
more to be done to address this issue.
Better engagement with homeless people
is one idea put forward.
The housing allocation process is also mentioned, with a common suggestion
being to pay more attention to individual
needs in this process, especially for
vulnerable groups of people. This was a
particular issue raised in relation to the
migrant and refugee community.
Housing support for disabled people is discussed, with suggestions to improve
more support for young disabled people
moving out of the parental home. Also,
making sure all housing is accessible for
disabled people is another point raised.
Housing quality is discussed. Improving
the standard of housing, in both the
private rented sector and in local
authority provided housing, is a key
point. A variety of ideas are suggested on
how to achieve this, including: tougher
penalties for landlords providing
sub-standard housing; tougher regulations
for house builders; and upgrading/
modernising of existing housing stock.
Also, there are a number of comments
calling for all housing to be more energy
efficient.
Increasing communal spaces and facilities
so that local communities can come
together is a key issue. This includes
indoor space where people can hold
meetings and run activities; and safe,
outdoor green space that people can use,
for example, for community gardening.
There are a number of suggestions to
make better use of existing community
facilities to provide this space, such as
schools and public libraries.
#fairerscotlandfairer.scot

HOMES AND COMMUNITIES
There are also calls to increase the level of community activities for people to
access. There is a particular focus on
young people, especially in rural areas,
with specific ideas including: more
evening activities; free or inexpensive
access to leisure services; more youth
spaces such as youth cafes; and more
youth clubs.
Community safety is discussed, with
requests for more community policing
and greater visibility of local police in the
community. This is a common issue raised
by individuals and groups from the
migrant and refugee community who
contributed to the discussion.
7
EARLY YEARS, EDUCATION AND HEALTH
Childcare is another key issue in the discussion and considered important in
terms of parents accessing work. There
are many comments which suggest
flexibility and choice are equally as
important as availability of childcare,
particularly for parents who work outside
of nursery or school hours. More
breakfast and after school clubs to help
with this is a common suggestion.
There are also several comments about
providing childcare during school holidays
as these periods can prove difficult and
potentially expensive for parents,
especially those without extended
families who are reliant on private
childcare during these times.
Support for parents is discussed to a lesser degree. The main points raised
include: more supportive information
for parents; equal rights for fathers;
better paternity and maternity leave
arrangements; and additional support
for adoptive parents.
There are specific comments on support
for parents of disabled children or
children with additional support needs.
The main points raised here are for
services to remain in place for the long
term, and that there is more support for
disabled children or children with
additional support needs in school.
Specific suggestions include more carers
in special schools and better training for
school staff.
For children looked after by the care system, the key point raised is the need
for adequate support when they leave
care.
Education and health and social care are two of the standout topics in the discussion.
There are a range of views as to how education should be delivered. There is
some focus given to starting school later,
with reference to the Scandinavian
countries, and class sizes and teacher/
pupil ratios another issue discussed.
There are various points raised about the school curriculum. A common one is that
there should be more variety of subjects
taught to include topics such as health;
how to vote/get involved in politics;
entrepreneurialism/how to start a
business; and life skills – budgeting,
preparing a meal, nutrition, etc.
There is also a view that vocational learning should have parity with academic learning, and that greater value
be placed on vocational study.
Apprenticeships and trade schools are
two ways suggested to encourage young
people to follow vocational career
pathways.

EARLY YEARS, EDUCATION AND HEALTH
There are a number of comments that suggest pupils and students with disabilities need greater levels of support. Further support in school for
disabled children is mentioned, as is
support for disabled students in further
education and higher education. For
example, by providing access to
transport. Additional support for disabled
people moving from education to
employment is also suggested.
On health, nutrition and access to healthy food is a key focus. There are a number
of ideas suggested as to how to improve
nutrition, with an emphasis on child
nutrition through healthier school meals
and availability of fresh fruit in school.
Educating parents on nutrition and
providing warnings on unhealthy foods
such as sweets and fizzy drinks are other
key points.
The cost of healthy food is also raised
with comments that it is too high or that
unhealthy food is cheaper. Some ideas to
reduce these costs include offering tax
relief on healthy foods, through VAT, or
local suppliers, through business rates
relief. Also, one idea suggested is to levy
tax on unhealthy foods to make them less
appealing.
Mental health is another key issue in the discussion. One of the main points raised
is a desire to see mental health services
to be the same as physical health
services, both in terms of access to
mental health services and quality. A
particular point made is that there should
be more child and adolescent mental
health services.
Further reductions in waiting times to access health services is a common point. This is a particular issue in connection
with mental health services, especially for
people in crisis situations. There is also a
focus on GP appointments, with
comments suggesting appointments are
difficult to get and often too short. This
last point is a particular concern of those
whose first language is not English.
Health service integration and management of the NHS is also discussed.
A common view is that the NHS could be
further improved if there were greater
levels of integration between different
health departments. One example given is
that greater integration of services would
enable more efficient sharing of patient
information and allow patients with
multiple or complex issues to access
integrated care at one location.
9
EARLY YEARS, EDUCATION AND HEALTH
There are some comments suggesting
there should be further integration
between health and other service
departments, such as social work;
housing; and education services.
In terms of resourcing the NHS, a
common view is that it should continue to
remain free at the point of access and
that further investment should be
provided to ensure it receives the level of
funding it requires. A small number of
comments suggest that people also need
to take more responsibility for their own
health and not rely completely on the
NHS to protect their health simply
because it is free.
Carers are one of the key groups discussed and support for carers is a key
theme. There is acknowledgement for the
role that carers play and there are calls
for greater provision of sufficient respite
for carers, and for carers’ allowance to be
raised to reflect the economic value they
contribute to the Scottish economy.
#fairerscotlandfairer.scot

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND PUBLIC SERVICES
Public involvement in democracy is one of the most talked about issues in the discussion. There are a large number of
comments that advocate further
opportunities for local people be involved
and play a part in decisions that affect
them and their community.
There is a focus on more decisions being taken locally and at a community level.
One suggestion is to make better use of
community councils, while others suggest
reforming community councils to make
them more representative of local
communities and give them more
authority.
There is acknowledgement that people should get involved themselves to
improve things through, for example,
local politics or volunteering. This issue is
made with particular reference to children
and young people, with a suggestion that
they should be encouraged and engaged
to play an active role in shaping their
lives more generally.
Support for community groups and organisations to allow participation at a grass roots level is a key issue. This links
to an earlier point raised on access to
community space but is also about
providing further funding support for
community groups. One suggestion made
is to simplify the community funding
landscape to make it easier for
community groups to apply for and
access funds.
Access to information is considered critical to community engagement, as is
the provision of feedback to generate
trust and maintain community
involvement.
The role of National Government and the
way in which it works is also raised. The
importance of partnership working across
political parties and between sectors,
with a focus on working towards the
common good, are the main points raised.
The role of public services is another standout issue to emerge from the discussion. The key point raised is that
services should ‘fit’ the needs of people.
One idea suggested is that service users
should be listened to and involved at the
service design stage.
This comes through in views given on
integrated health services and education.
It also comes across in issues raised on
transport where suggestions on how
transport services could be improved
include: improved routes and greater
reliability of services; and greater
integration of transport services for rural
communities, such as bus and ferry
services.
11
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION AND PUBLIC SERVICES
Being able to access public services is another key issue. On one hand, there are
many comments that suggest quality
public services should be available to
everyone regardless of where they live.
On the other is the view that the
availability of services should be based
on where they are needed most and that
access to them should reflect this.
Access to services is a particular issue
raised in relation to rural communities,
with several comments suggesting that
more resources are needed to improve
access. Improving broadband to provide
more access to online services is one
example given. Faster broadband speeds
and better mobile coverage in general is
the key issue around digital services.
More local services, such as local clubs
and activities, and greater ease of access
to key services such as health and
education are key issues raised. Having
translation services available for non-
English speakers in health centres and
schools is one example offered.
The costs of public services are also raised in the discussion. A number of
comments suggest keeping free services
currently in place such as free
prescriptions; TV licence for over 75s;
free bus travel for over 60s; and a free
higher education system.
However, many comments suggest that
public transport costs are too high and
that costs to travel the same distance
vary depending where in the country the
journey takes place. An additional point
raised in relation to bus services is that
the same service can vary in cost
depending on the service provider.
Therefore, one idea offered is to make
transport costs for the same service or
for level of service the same across public
transport providers regardless of where
in the country the journey takes place.
In the same way, there are calls for the
cost of energy supply to be the same
regardless of where you are located or
the means by which you pay for it. This is
a particular issue for those who use
pre-paid meters and those in remote
locations.
#fairerscotlandfairer.scot
12
RESPECT AND DIGNITY
Respect and dignity are strong themes that emerge from the discussion across a number of different topics. Ending
discrimination of any kind and ensuring
equality of opportunity for all are
common points made.
A number of views are given on public attitudes. There is a want for people to
have more trust and respect for each
other, as well as being more accepting of
others.
There are many comments that discuss negative media portrayal of certain sections of society and how this
reinforces the stigma that exists around
these groups and communities. More
funding for local media to promote
positive community stories is suggested
to combat this, as is greater community
voice more generally in the national
media.
The way that people are treated by public services is a key point. This is
particularly discussed in respect of social
security and the welfare system.
There are many comments suggesting
that the welfare system should be fairer,
more helpful, provide security and treat
everyone with respect. As part of this, a
number of comments suggest that
sanctions should be removed as a
mechanism.
On specific welfare benefits, restoring
lifetime awards for people with
permanent or deteriorating conditions is
one suggestion. Another is that fit for
work assessments should take greater
account of mental health status and GPs’
recommendations to provide a rounded
assessment.
A more personal, empathetic and
compassionate service, offering tailored
support for job seekers is also called for.
Having a designated adviser is one idea
offered as to how this could be achieved.
There is a view that all benefit claimants
should be made fully aware of the
benefits they are entitled to by right and
that assistance should be offered to
complete the necessary forms to make a
claim.
Creating a more welcoming and less
intimidating job centre environment is
also discussed. The removal of security
guards from the premises; provision of
more privacy for job seekers; and
creation of a more child-friendly space
are some of the suggestions made as to
how to achieve this.
As part of the Fairer Scotland process, there was extra effort made to speak to minority groups and equality groups. Some of the points raised have already
been discussed in earlier sections of this
report but there are a number of specific
views offered by these communities of
people around the broad theme of
respect and dignity.
13
RESPECT AND DIGNITY
There are a number of calls for further inclusion of disabled people across all
areas of society, particularly with respect
to finding employment and in skills
attainment across education.
Greater representation of minority ethnic communities in senior positions and in
key decision making roles is also
suggested.
Greater representation of women across
society is raised, including that there
should be a 50/50 gender split in
company boardrooms and senior
positions. Reducing the gender pay gap is
another key issue.
The main issues in respect of the migrant and refugee population are that they
should be allowed to contribute to
Scottish society while they are awaiting
the outcome of citizenship applications,
through work, volunteering and/or
education. One idea suggested is for a
system that recognises the existing
qualifications of migrants and allows them
to access appropriate employment. There
are also calls for a reduction in the wait
for citizenship applications to be
processed.
For non-English speakers, there are
requests for more English for Speakers of
Other Languages (ESOL) courses, along
with greater provision of translation
services in key public services such as
schools and health environments.
Promotion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning and Intersex (LGBTQI) issues across society is
suggested in order to generate greater
awareness, with transgender issues a
particular focus of the comments made.
One suggestion is to raise more
awareness of LGBTQI issues in schools to
combat bullying and discrimination at an
early age.
The key point raised relative to the Gypsy/Traveller community is that more
needs to be done to include Gypsy
Traveller communities in local areas,
with one suggestion for them to be
represented on community councils.
The re-integration of offenders into
society is also raised. Providing adequate
support to achieve this is the key issue,
with suitable housing, tailored
employment support and benefits in place
on release, some of the ideas suggested.
The issue of care for older people is also
discussed and how this needs a flexible
approach. The issue of loneliness is raised
as is the need to address social isolation
of elderly people. Intergenerational
activities is one suggested way of
reducing isolation for older people.
